MM doesn't add the Album Art to .OGG .APE .MPC .FLAC

Guest · Post by **Guest** » Wed May 21, 2008 8:30 pm

Hello All,

I have been using MM3 for few weeks now, and I really enjoy

I did add the Album Art to all my CD collection, ripped as mp3, acc and lately some ogg, ape, mpc and flac

I did realise that the Album Art is added if I play any file with MM. But when I'm going to double click and check properties on those files (ogg, ape, mpc and flac) the picture is not included. It seems that I have to add it again manually and file by file

I guess those formats don't allow that tagging, but any suggestion?

Please help, many thanks

Those formats should allow tagging. What version of MM are you running (Help -> About).

Hi,

I'm running MM3. Maybe I did not explain myself properly. The files are tagged whilst MM is running.

But if I'm going to the folder where those files are saved and I right click to properties, the album art is not attached to the tag.

Thanks

Uhmm... Are you sure that Windows should be able to handle that? Can you see any other tags? I would not trust Windows so much for those kind of things other than MP3 and WMA. As far as I know, you need an extra shell extension and blablabla (too technical to be of any use) developers usually do not develop those. In my case, Windows Explorer does not know how to handle any of the Vorbis tags, even if I know that it is correctly tagged because I can have a look at the internals of the file.

I think only flac (and only newer versions) support embedded art.

MM 3 seems to be embedding art properly into my flac files.

Windows explorer do not have ability to show Correct info for lots of File formats like you said, especially Album Arts.

I used AudioShell but when I tested it i think I have found bug with multiple Album Art Images in FLAC and problem reading Linked images. As I have not used/tested their apps recently I'm not sure if they fixed those issues.

All right! thanks ...

I have done couple of things to sort it out. Once downloaded and added(tagged) the Art Album into .APE, .FLAC etc I save into the same folder with the name of the album.

After that I have used mp3tag or tagging manually adding the Album Art again. It seems crazy, but if you dont do that, and delete the track from MM when you add again, are added without the Art attached

Anyway, thanksfully I just got few FLAC if I compare with my mp3 and ACC
